Brief Summary
|
This experimental study investigates the effect of Hatha Yoga and yogic breathing on anxiety, memory, attention, and executive function in low physically active young adults (ages 19–28).
86 participants underwent a 4-week yoga program (5 days/week, 45 minutes/day). Anxiety was measured using the GAD-7 scale, and cognitive function using the Cognitive Failures Questionnaire (CFQ).
The study aims to assess yoga’s potential to reduce anxiety and enhance cognitive performance in inactive youth. |
